THIS is the disgusting moment a heartless thief steals a Leicester FC shift left outside the London Thai embassy as a tribute to the club's owner.

 

It had been placed there just three hours before the disgraceful theft, along with a handwritten note in memory of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha

I,ve heard of the same thing here in Thailand ..  steeling passport and money from a person dying from a motorbike accident ...  disgusting ..  unknown nationality

What vile scum, the lowest of the low.

Surely the met police can get a better image, and find the scum.????

Talking of superlatives, the Sun is definitely the stupidest newspaper in Britain. It wasn't nice to take the shirt, but I can guarantee there are thousands of viler people in the country. Somebody will get to wear the shirt, which is why it was made, and why didn't the Thai embassy take it inside after it was left? And why leave a tribute at the embassy anyway?  

[SammyT]

Despite this guy being a POS, I'm gonna go right ahead and assume there are probably people in Britain more vile than someone who stole a football shirt from a memorial...

A good time to point out that the late Chairman is not seen in quite the same saintly light as he is in Leicester, back at home. 

He may be a darling of the elite in Thailand, but my common as muck other half has angrily asked where were the hand outs to Thailand hospitals and other public initiatives here. 

While I'm not taking sides -in that black and white way the Thais see things, she says all his UK handouts were just based on gaining face, but cost him nothing in the grand scheme of billions, I think she has a point.

He earned his money , he can spent it where he likes .

Its up to the Thai Government to fund social services in Thailand , its not the responsibility of rich individuals

"VILEST MAN IN BRITAIN"

 

Ok, what he did wasn't good or very honest, but vilest man in Britain...don't think so.

 

Sun journalists could find much more vile people, simply by looking in a mirror.

They've got their hands full tackling knife crimes and such. They won't have the resources to go after common or garden toe-rags like him.

[CharlieH]

Anyone considered the guy may have known nothing about the helicopter incident or even who Leicester City are ? To him it may have been just a sports shirt and scarf.

 

Taking it was wrong, yes, but branding him in that way hardly seems fair unless he knew what it represented and he may not have.

 

Based on facts, all you have is an individual removing an apparently abondoned article of clothing !

What?  "Vile scum, lowest of the low"?

 

He stole a football shirt, that's all, he didn't steal it from anyone in particular, neither did he deprive someone of it who needed the shirt.  I'm not condoning theft but it's no bigger a deal than any other tea leaf shoplifting a shirt that happens hundreds of times every day.

 

 

If he was aware of what it represented (if indeed that is what it represented) then it is a bigger deal.

Why?  What exactly did it "represent".  It was a shirt left for some daft reason on the wall of the Embassy by someone who didn't want it, that's all.

A lot of people would argue that stealing that particular shirt is a bigger deal than other other types of shoplifting. It was not just a shirt, it was a piece of memorabilia that represented a terrible tragedy.

No ones disputing that. Right or wrong, everyday Thais don't like he gave to farangs. And being Thai, they know his motivation was not purely altruistic. 

They can't win with some of you guys. 

You want them to rise up, then you bag them when they call out one of the reasons why they're so disenfranchised and feeling gypped. Also who here has a good word to say for the blatant rip off that is the monopoly duty free operator here? I thought so...

"...it was a piece of memorabilia that represented a terrible tragedy".

All it was was a shirt, no different than any other LC shirt, nothing more, it represented nothing in any formal capacity.

My comment was a polite  way to say the grammar of the  Administration of this forum could set an example rather than support   the wrong  usage of the English language.

 

Do you agree or disagree with that?

That happens quite a lot then.

 

As I said, IF it represented a memorial, and the guy was aware of it, then the act is worse than theft.

 

Anyone who can place common theft on par with stealing from a memorial has low values and morals.

So by your logic the Cenataph just a piece of stone.

Absolutely right. 

 

I wonder how much those righteous individuals who condemn him out of hand with no evidence for anything more than being very rich ever contribute to the deprived themselves?

His wealth is not the point, I'm not "condemning" him for anything, I was observing that whatever any heartbroken fans think, many everyday Thais don't see him as the club fans do, because they resent where he dispensed largesse. 

If it was Becks throwing money at Thai institutions, and ignoring his own, I'm sure the howls on TV would be heard in John O Groats.

Becks has spent all his money on a football team in the USA and no one cared .

[DrTuner]

Should have left the proper price for the shirt at least. On the bright side, now it'll at least be worn by somebody. It's a bloody shirt.

[DM07]

Yeah...that is bad, but...if that is the vilest man in Britain, then Britain has no real problems!

Keep things real, please!

You're playing whataboutery. It's pointless. She's a Thai, and they're as nationalistic and selfish as the people who want Brexit, I'm not defending her, your previous point went off on a tangent about where he spends his money, but the point is that his choices did not endear him at home, that's all. What you would like out of this silly little back n forth, a public graap and an apology?  555 

I would prefer it if you would answer the points that I made .

Did you ask her the question that I suggested that you ask her ?

But I do agree with you , she does seem to be selfish , happy enough to receive money from foreigners in Thailand , but also wants Thais to spend money on her (countries) well being and not on someone else abroad
